Example
• A slider crank mechanism converts the reciprocating motion of a slider into
rotary motion of crank or vice versa.
Example:
When slider crank mechanism is used as an automobile engineg with the addition of
valve mechanism, it converts chemical energy (force on the piston due to
combustion) to kinetic energy (torque of the crank shaft).
• Reciprocating pumps,
pumps reciprocating compressors and steam engines are examples
of machines derived from slider crank mechanism.
• Therefore, mechanism is the fundamental unit and one needs know the basic
terminology

Pure translation
• Translational motion along two perpendicular axes on the plane.
• All points on the rigid body in pure translation form parallel (curvilinear or
rectilinear) paths.

• Points on the rigid body travel nonparallel paths, and center of rotation
continuously change location.
Example:
A rigid body moving in space possesses 6 degree of freedom (6 DOF)
• Translational motions along three mutually perpendicular axes x, y,and z
• Rotational motions about these axes

Binary link
• A link with 2 nodes/joints
Ternary link
• A link with 3 nodes/joints
Quaternary link
• A link with

Example:
Shaft rotating in a journal bearing, automobile steering, universal joint, all pairs of
slider-crank mechanism
Example:

• A kinematic chain in which at least one link has been grounded or attached to the
frame of reference.

Machine
• A combination of resistant bodies arranged to compel the mechanical forces of
nature to do work accompanied by determinate motions.

• A link that has complex motion and not pivoted to ground.

• Any link or links that are fixed with respect to the reference frame.

Inversion
• By fixing the links of a kinematic chain one at a time, we may get as many
number of variants as the number of links.
• These variants are known as inversions of kinematic chain or inversions of
mechanism.

i
• When one of turning pair of a four bar chain is replaced by a sliding pair, it
becomes a slider crank chain.
• First inversion – link 1 fixed
• Second inversion –link 2 fixed
• Third inversion – link 3 fixed
• Fourth inversion – link 4 fixed
